Summary:

The Anderson 03 school district in South Carolina is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 6th out of 75 districts in the state and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Crescent High School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of high schools in the state, with a 4-star rating and strong test scores. Starr-Iva Middle School is also a top performer, ranking in the top 25% of middle schools and excelling in Algebra 1. At the elementary level, Starr Elementary School is the highest-ranked in the district, ranking in the top 10% of elementary schools statewide with exceptional Math and English Language Arts scores.

While the district overall is strong, there are some areas of concern. All schools in the district have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which is above the state average. Additionally, all three elementary schools have 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The district should continue to monitor and address these challenges to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
